Outdoor Activity Leaders:
Scouts Australia has recently updated its national program which has led to an increased need for adults with an interest or experience in Adventurous Outdoor Activities such as mountain bike riding, cycling, paddling, sailing, bushwalking, 4WDing, SCUBA, vertical skills (Abseiling/rock climbing/caving) etc. If you are a past leader, school teacher, older than 15, and/or have a passion for outdoor activities and supporting youth, we would love to hear from you. To be an Adventurous Activity Leader there is no requirement to be a section leader and attend weekly section meetings. To learn more, please send an email to [email protected] Subject "Outdoor activity enquiry"
